Welcome to the forum Cfanch89!
I too will soon find out about the wait time. I will begin the renewal process for my third time in a couple days.

Start date is today, 1.5.17.
I just completed initiating my renewal process and even submitted my DD-214 via their secure e-mail. That was cool. Cost = $27.61
For those that may remember, I've inquired about getting a copy of my DD-214 a couple times over the last few years knowing this renewal was getting closer and that I've not had any luck in that department. Well, as luck would have it, my wife stumbled across my original a few months ago and I scanned it right away into a pdf file. Yay!

Getting a copy of DD214's seems to be a hassle all around!

Received plastic in mail: 9 Jan

The timeline thus far...
LTC Application 12/01/2016
Fingerprints: 12/9/2016
LTC Class 12/17/2016
LTC Supporting Documents Received 12/19/2016
My wife, son and I have all been going through the process together. We have the exact same timeline as above. My son received his LTC on 1/5/2017. My wife just got hers on 1/9/2017. YAY! My status has not changed.
So this leads me to believe that one or more of the following may be occurring:
- They are doing some form of triage (fast tracking some applications at the expense of others)
- It is indeed a FIFO (First In First Out) process and I should expect my LTC within a week or so. And no I won't hold my breath.
- They don't really have the process, tools or infrastructure to manage the flow (plan, track report progress, etc.). In essence a chaotic or ad hoc process.
- They have Single Point of Failures (SPOFs) within their own process flow (e.g. an approving manager goes on vacation for 2 weeks)
- Other organizations outside of their own have an ad hoc process
- Handoffs between organizations are broken resulting in delays
- I am not worthy.
Good luck to all!

All these super fast turnaround times. As of this morning I'm still on fingerprints under review, background check under review since 11/22/16. 7 weeks exactly.
Attempted to call. "due to high call volume all customer service representatives are assisting other customers, please try again later."

I'm literally in the same boat as you! Actually a day ahead; background check under review since 11/21/16. I called and got the same "high volume" message, but i kept calling back. Eventually after 35 min on hold, a rep answered and said they were still working on my app and could not give me anymore info. Of course i was of the "Thanks for nothing" mindset at that point. I don't know which is worse, the wait for my LTC or the wait for my NFA tax stamps.

I am hoping that quote notifies both of you.
After doing some reading in a different thread, I came across the fact/point that if you are older, then your application is going to naturally take a little bit longer than some of us youngins. Imagine doing a background check on me (25 years old with literally not even a speeding ticket) and a 45 year old (with a normal ticket here and there). Simply just more information to review. I don't think there is anything to worry about. But I know the frustration, especially when they wont give you any additional information...lol come on, I mean, its your background!!!
Hope there is a positive update in yalls status' soon!
